OpenAI has released a new ChatGPT desktop app for Mac, but it's currently only available to select users with M-series chip Macs. However, users can manually download the app and use a workaround to gain access by quitting the app at a specific point during login. This method has been shared on social media and Reddit, though it may not fully enable all features like voice chat. It's recommended to wait for an official invite for a smoother experience.

WhatsApp's Windows app now supports up to 8-person video calls and multi-device sign-in.

WhatsApp is rolling out a revamped Windows client that adds eight-person video calls and allows users to host audio calls with up to 32 people at once.
